FORT LAUDERDALE — A Toronto man whose parents were victims of a hit-and-run driver on Saturday is offering a $3,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Albert and Armandina Macedo were leaving a 7-Eleven store about 8 p.m. when a dark blue Honda with tinted windows struck them and drove away, according to Fort Lauderdale police and the couple's son, David Macedo, 44.

The store is at 3301 NE 30th St., near Shooter's Waterfront Cafe.

Macedo said two witnesses who left the store with his parents said the Honda lost a passenger-side mirror in the accident. The witnesses did not get a license plate number.

Albert Macedo, 77, suffered broken ribs, a bleeding kidney and a scraped knee. He was taken to the Cleveland Clinic, where he was listed in stable condition Thursday. Armandina Macedo, 70, received only minor cuts and bruises.

Their son, also a Toronto resident, flew here after he learned of the accident. He said his parents live in a condo near the convenience store for a few months a year.

He asked that anyone with information on the accident call the police department at 954-761-5460 and refer to case number 98-49794.
